[1] And Job answers and says: [2] “How you have helped the powerless, || Saved an arm not strong! [3] How you have given counsel to the unwise, || And made known wise plans in abundance. [4] With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you? [5] The Rephaim are formed, || Also their inhabitants beneath the waters. [6] Sheol [is] naked before Him, || And there is no covering to destruction. [7] Stretching out the north over desolation, || Hanging the earth on nothing, [8] Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, || And the cloud is not burst under them. [9] Taking hold of the face of the throne, || Spreading His cloud over it. [10] He has placed a limit on the waters, || To the boundary of light with darkness. [11] Pillars of the heavens tremble, || And they wonder because of His rebuke. [12] By His power He has quieted the sea, || And by His understanding struck the proud. [13] He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, || His hand has formed the fleeing serpent. [14] Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
